Hail Damage Repair Brisbane
What Is Hail Damage Repair?
Hail damage repair is the process of removing the dents a hailstorm leaves in your roof, bonnet, boot and panels. At Mr Dent, we repair hail damage with paintless dent removal (PDR). Our technicians work each dent out from behind the panel. There is no sanding, no body filler and no repainting.
Where we can’t reach the back of a panel, we use glue pulling from the outside. Specialised lighting shows the shape of every dent, so we can see when the panel is back to its original form. Your factory paint stays on the car.
It’s the same careful method we use for all our dent repairs in Brisbane, applied across every hail-damaged panel.
Is Paintless Dent Removal Right for Your Hail Damage?
Most hail damage car repair jobs suit PDR. Hailstones usually leave rounded dents without breaking the paint, which is exactly what paintless dent removal is designed for. PDR works best when:
- The dents range from small dings to larger dents
- The vehicle is a 1990 model or newer
- The paint is not cracked or chipped
- The dents are not right on a panel edge
- The panel has not had previous body repair
If hail has cracked the paint, PDR alone may not be the right repair. Send us a few photos of the damage and we’ll tell you honestly what we can and can’t fix.

We remove any trim or inner panels needed to reach the back of each dent. Everything is refitted once the repair is done.
Using precision rods, hammers and glue pulling tools, our hail dent repair work massages each dent back into shape. We check every panel under the light until the finish is right.
Hail Damage Insurance Claims
If you have comprehensive car insurance, check your policy for hail cover. We regularly work with customers insured through Allianz, Suncorp, AAMI, RACQ and Pro 4×4. We can submit the insurance claim on your behalf and start your hail damage repair once your insurer approves it.
Can I Choose My Own Repairer?
It depends on your policy, so check your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). Mr Dent is not part of any insurer's preferred repair network, and a preferred repairer is not automatically a better one. We can provide an independent assessment and quote for your insurer to consider. If you're told you must use a specific repairer, ask for that information in writing.
Will I Pay an Excess?
Most policies require you to pay an excess when you make a hail damage car insurance claim. If an excess applies, it is payable once your car is repaired.
What If There's a Long Wait for Repairs?
After a big storm, insurer repair networks can build long backlogs. If your allocated repairer can't start for weeks, ask your insurer about other options. Depending on your policy, this may include a cash settlement, so you can arrange the repair with the repairer you prefer.
We believe repair decisions should be based on facts, not pressure. Our guide to hail damage insurance claims explains your rights and options in full, including the questions to ask before you authorise repairs.
How Long Does Hail Damage Repair Take?
Most of our repairs are finished within a day. Larger hail jobs with extensive damage may need your car for 2 to 3 days in our workshop. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote, so you can plan around it.
Mobile Hail Damage Assessments
We understand that being without your car is a hassle, so we come to you. We can assess the damage at your home or workplace and, in suitable circumstances, complete the repair on site. We also offer pick-up and delivery options, so you don’t have to organise transport. See our Brisbane service areas to check your suburb.
all you need to know.
Can all hail damage be fixed with paintless dent removal?
Not always. PDR suits most hail dents where the paint is unbroken. The dent also needs to be away from the panel edge, on a panel with no previous body repair. We'll assess your car and tell you if PDR is the right option.
Does hail damage car insurance cover PDR?
Hail damage insurance cover is often included in comprehensive car insurance, and PDR is a recognised repair method for hail dents. Cover still differs between policies, so check your PDS and speak with your insurer. We can submit the claim on your behalf.
How long does hail damage repair take?
Most repairs are completed within a day. Larger hail jobs with extensive damage may need the vehicle for 2 to 3 days.

Yes. We offer mobile hail damage assessments at your home or workplace, and mobile repairs in suitable circumstances. Pick-up and delivery options are also available.
Will PDR affect my car's factory paint?
No. PDR reshapes the metal from behind the panel without sanding, filler or repainting, so your original factory paint stays intact.

From first contact with "Mr Dent Brisbane," Daniel went out of his way to help us get our new truck repaired. Daniel was very professional and knowledgeable in the truck and how to repair it back to brand new. Watching Daniel take so much time and effort in repairing my door showed that we were with the right business. The price for the repair was very competitive and great value for the price.

Daniel came to help fix the dent in my mums car, which had a dent just over the wheel arch which I thought would be hard to get the lines and angles back to great shape and might wreck the paint. I had to go out at the time he turned up, by the time I got back he had finished the job to incredible standards. You wouldn’t even know there was a dent there to begin with.Extremely happy with his work and highly recommend I would definitely use him again if I get in a situation needed a dent repair again.

Great first time experience! Mr. Dent provided an amazing service! Someone at work left a dent on my brand new car. Daniel repaired a dent so well. You can't even tell where it was - there's no evidence left! See the before and after! I highly recommend his services if you're reading this review. 100% satisfied

Absolutely thrilled with the five-star service from Mr. Dent Brisbane, especially with Daniel's expert touch! Daniel came right to us, saving us the hassle of driving to the shop. His professionalism and skill were evident from the moment he arrived, and he worked his magic on our car's dent with precision and care. The result? Flawless! We're beyond impressed with Daniel and the entire Mr. Dent Brisbane team. Highly recommend their mobile dent repair service to anyone in need!

My friend recommended Daniel to me as she caused a small dent on my card door by accident. He came to me on short notice and his pricing is very reasonableHe only quoted us $165, as compared to $1550+ (quoted to me by a smash repairs workshop along Lytton Road). The $1550+ quoted to me by the workshop for such a small dent and discoloration, feels rather unethical, because they included unnecessary stuffs (in this context) like ADAS Safety Scan ~$240.What I like about Daniel is his quick yet efficient work, with very high precision.
RICK KOH
Recently I had someone open their car door into mine at a shopping centre, leaving a dent in one of the doors in a very awkward place. I looked around and found Mr Dent Brisbane and gave them a call. Dan asked me to send some photos through to take a look. He then had a look at the car and worked his magic; the results are awesome! Couldn’t even tell there was a dent there. Dan also fixed a stone chip on my bonnet and again, results are fantastic. Dan is professional, quick, reasonably priced and was able to fit me in with such short notice. 10/10 service, would highly recommend! Thanks Dan, you’re brilliant!
